Organization: Art History Institute, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa; Institute for Contemporary History, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa.Paying homage to the work of Foteini Vlachou (1975-2017), the Art History Institute and the Institute for Contemporary History of the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa now launch the call for papers for the Art in the Periphery International Conference.The conference aims to discuss the concept of periphery while focusing on the geographic and thematic areas that have been neglected by traditional and/or canonical art history. It seeks to push the discussion towards the understanding of the periphery as plural, historical and changeable, focusing on the non-linearity of cultural processes and historical time, and the non-universality of the artistic canons.
